In this episode, Dudley and Jared Musgrove explore what it means to return to a more biblical vision of the church. Through honest conversation and practical insights, they challenge modern ideas of church success, leadership, and discipleship, pointing instead to the simple yet powerful model of Apostolic Christianity found in the New Testament.Together, they discuss the role of house churches, the priesthood of all believers, and how Spiritual Gifts are best discovered through active participation in Kingdom Community. They also examine how Church Leadership can move beyond hierarchy and programs to empower every believer for ministry and discipleship.Through compelling stories and biblical reflection, this conversation highlights the importance of Authentic Faith expressed through real relationships, Spirit-led discipleship, and Faith in Action. Rather than relying on institutional structures alone, believers are encouraged to see needs, meet needs, and participate in the work God is already doing in their communities.We pray this message will encourage, challenge, and transform.As always, we invite you to share it with someone who needs it.

In this message from Matthew 15:29–16:4, Pastor Karl examines two very different groups of people who come to Jesus — and what their approach reveals about how we receive grace.The first group comes from the Decapolis, a Gentile region with no religious standing or covenant claim. They bring broken bodies, unspoken needs, and nothing to offer — and Jesus meets them with compassion, healing, and even provision they didn't know to ask for. The second group, the Pharisees and Sadducees, arrives with suspicion and a demand for proof — and Jesus refuses to perform for them.The contrast surfaces a powerful truth: Jesus has endless compassion for those who come to him needy, but no obligation to satisfy those who come feeling entitled. Unworthiness isn't a disqualification for grace — it's the prerequisite for it.Pastor Karl unpacks why the disciples hesitated to feed the 4,000 (it wasn't that they forgot what Jesus could do — it was that they questioned who he'd do it for), what it really means to "fall from grace," and why the cross is the only reliable lens through which to interpret God's love. When we bring our "not enough" to Jesus, we find that inadequacy is exactly the raw material he's looking for.Watch all our sermons on our youtube channel "Flipside Christian Church"Join us in person 8:00am, 9:30am & 11:00am every Sunday morning.37193 Ave 12 #3h, Madera, CA 93636For more visit us at flipside.churchFor more podcasts visit flipsidepodcasts.transistor.fm

What does it look like to be the Church in the world today?In this episode of the CGN Podcast, Daniel Williams sits down with Brad Hall, pastor of One Love Church in Sydney, Australia, and a main session speaker for the 2026 CGN International Ministry Conference. Brad shares his journey from planting churches in Hawaii and Australia to teaching Christian Studies in a local high school, where he engages daily with students wrestling with questions about faith, science, truth, and meaning.As Brad reflects on this year's conference theme, For Such a Time as This: The Church in the World, he emphasizes the importance of authenticity. In a culture flooded with competing voices, misinformation, and skepticism, Brad believes the Church has an opportunity to stand out by simply being genuine in its faith, relationships, and witness.The conversation explores the unique spiritual landscape of Australia, the hunger young people have for answers, and how ordinary conversations can become powerful opportunities for ministry. Brad also offers encouragement for pastors and church leaders who may be feeling weary, reminding them that God remains faithful and that perseverance in ministry is never wasted.About Brad HallBrad Hall began serving in pastoral ministry in 1995 and planted a church in Maui, Hawaii, in 1998, where he served for 12 years. In 2010, Brad and his wife, Christy, moved to Sydney, Australia. After several years serving in local churches, they planted One Love Church in 2017, where Brad continues to serve as lead pastor. Alongside pastoral ministry, he teaches Christian Studies at a local high school, helping students thoughtfully engage questions about faith and life.Resources & LinksRegister for the CGN International Ministry Conference:conference.calvarychapel.com
The Bible is full of beautiful, descriptive, rich, and wonderful truths! It also has some rather… odd… stories than by themselves leave readers with more questions than answers. Passages which on the surface standout as being weird, funny, confusing, or all of the above. This series dives into some of those unique stories to help us mine for the Truth within the curious. Today we look at the story of seven brothers who have a unique encounter with a man possessed by a demon. Text: Acts 19:11-20Come visit us in person!

What are students and children actually learning from us? It may not be our sermons. It may not be our advice. It might simply be the way we live. In this episode of Youth Worker On Fire, Doug Edwards shares a simple but powerful story from dinner with his grandchildren and a reminder that faith is often caught before it is taught. After inviting his family to pray over a meal, Doug watched something unexpected happen: His grandchildren stepped forward and wanted to pray. Not because they were asked. Not because they were prepared. But because prayer had become natural to them. That moment became a powerful reminder: Students and children are watching us more closely than we realize.

What matters more to God: outward appearance or the true condition of the heart?In this powerful episode, the conversation begins with an emotional clip involving Shia LaBeouf discussing Jesus and quickly unfolds into a deeper discussion about authenticity, worship, judgment, church culture, and what genuine faith actually looks like. The hosts challenge believers to look beyond appearances and examine whether Christianity has become more about performance than transformation.From “Sunday best” culture and youth ministry to celebrity conversions, broken people in church, and the tension between truth and love, this episode explores how Jesus consistently welcomed messy people while still calling them into transformation. The discussion also emphasizes that believers themselves are now the temple of the Holy Spirit, meaning faith should shape everyday life—not just Sunday mornings.If you've ever wrestled with church culture, hypocrisy, shame, or questions about authentic Christianity, this conversation is a heartfelt reminder that God cares deeply about heart posture, humility, and genuine surrender.Clarity in chaos.

In this episode, C.L. dives into the power of music and the impact it has on our hearts, minds, and souls. Sharing the 12 artists he's listened to the most over the past year, he reflects on how music shapes emotions, influences our thinking, and has played a powerful role throughout the Bible. If music is food for the soul, the question becomes: what are we feeding ourselves? Tune in for a quick, honest conversation and some encouragement to listen to Godly music.
Real ministry is not built on polished content... it is built when we are willing to share our very selves. In this roadside reflection episode, Kara finally shares what Fred and her recent writing project has been (with Ascension Press) and reflects on a personal passage from St. Paul in 1 Thessalonians 2:8–9: “So, being affectionately desirous of you, we were ready to share with you not only the gospel of God but also our own selves…” This conversation dives into vulnerability, discipleship, authentic ministry, loving others even when it is difficult, and what it means to hope for others. Also, the audio quality is a little different this episode. Life and family obligations have made studio recording difficult lately, so I pray this “roadside reflections” is okay!

Sermon - April 12, 2026
Rev. Brent Russett preached Pt.3 of a sermon series titled “1 Thessalonians”. This week he spoke on the topic of “Authentic Faith”. The scripture reference was from 1 Thessalonians 2:17-3:13 (NIV).
We're embarking on a journey through 1 John that challenges us to move beyond surface-level faith into authentic spiritual living. This powerful sermon isn't just another letter—it's a poetic, emotional call to cut through the fakeness that permeates our world and even our churches. The core message confronts a crisis that's as relevant today as it was in 90 AD: false teachers were fracturing the early church, claiming moral superiority while living hypocritically, and denying the physical reality of Jesus Christ. John's response is unshakable—he appeals to evidence, to what was seen, heard, and touched. This isn't blind faith; it's faith rooted in historical reality. We're given three powerful tests to examine our spiritual lives: the test of truth (do we believe Jesus came in the flesh?), the test of obedience (are we striving to walk in light and confess our sin?), and the test of love (do we actively love our church family?). These aren't tests to make us anxious, but to give us assurance. Walking in light doesn't mean perfection—it means allowing God's truth to reveal our brokenness so we can experience genuine fellowship and transformation. The challenge before us is clear: will we settle for plastic Christianity, or will we pursue the real, messy, beautiful community God intends for us?
Send us Fan MailMost people settle for a surface-level faith, never realizing the transformative power waiting in Eucharistic adoration, prayer, and authentic identity. Joseph San Jose's story is a powerful reminder: even when you've tried everything, Jesus is the fullness you've been searching for—and He's just waiting to be encountered.In this episode, Joseph opens up about the pivotal moments that reshaped his life. He shares the raw, honest experience of his first Eucharistic adoration, the tears that poured out as his hurt and longing met Jesus's fullness, and how that encounter ignited his mission to help others pray. Be inspired by how God used music, marathons, and everyday moments to reveal His presence.

Is your "Check Engine Light" flashing? Just like a car's dashboard alerts us to what's happening under the hood, our spiritual indicators tell us about the health of our walk with God.In this installment of our series, DASHBOARD FAITH, we explore what it means to have Authentic Faith. Faith isn't just a vague feeling or a religious concept; it is a foundational trust that moves us to action. Join us as we break down the mechanics of trust, how faith grows like a muscle, and why relationship always triumphs over rules.
In this episode of The Debrief Podcast, we're diving into the tension so many believers feel but rarely talk about.What happens when your pursuit of God starts to feel like pressure instead of peace? When spiritual disciplines turn into performance? When you're trying to be faithful in your work, but you're not sure if it's costing you your soul—or fulfilling your calling?We talk through what it looks like to move from a works-based mindset into a genuine relationship with God, how to discern whether you're walking in purpose or drifting into burnout, and why so many people struggle to stay engaged with Scripture—and what to do about it.If you've ever felt overwhelmed in your faith, stuck in routine, or unsure if you're actually growing, this conversation is for you.
In this episode, Shelley Giglio sits down with international speaker, best-selling author, and spoken-word artist Hosanna Wong for an honest conversation about faith that doesn't feel like a spiritual show. Hosanna shares stories from her upbringing in San Francisco, her dad's faithful street ministry, and the surprising ways God produces fruit across generations. Together, they explore why so many of us feel stuck — confusing our “God life” with a perfect quiet-time ideal while our real life is full of deadlines, laundry, and responsibility. Together they explore a powerful picture of flourishing through the lens of vineyard growers, and how to nurture your life with God in whatever season you're in. We pray that this conversation will help you release comparison, repent of pace and pressures God never asked you to carry, and take one simple step toward a real relationship with Him — today.

It's possible to look right on the outside and still be far from God on the inside. In this episode, we learn that Jesus challenges empty religion and calls us to authentic faith. This message explores what it truly means to be transformed, not just in appearance, but at the heart level, and how faith in Jesus gives us the power to overcome.

What does the Bible really teach about fasting? In this message from Covenant Church Doylestown, we walk through Isaiah 58 and Jesus' teaching in the Sermon on the Mount to understand what biblical fasting actually is — and what it isn't. Fasting isn't about spiritual performance. It isn't about manipulating God. And it isn't about religious image management. This sermon explores: What biblical fasting really means Why God rejected Israel's fasting in Isaiah 58 The difference between religious acting and authentic faith What Jesus meant by “new wine and new wineskins” Why fasting should be done in secret How fasting shapes your heart and spiritual formation What it means to hunger for God more than your next meal True fasting doesn't just change your schedule — it changes your soul. It softens your heart. It moves you toward justice and mercy. It prepares you for deeper communion with God.
Evangelist Phil Privette Jr.-1/20/26-AM Service
What if the reason you’re tired, burned out, or stuck isn’t your faith… but the fact that you’re trying to do it alone? In “Community Fuels the Mission” we look at Acts 4 and discover how real community changed ordinary people into bold, world-changing believers. This message is for anyone who’s curious about God, skeptical of church, or longing for deeper connection without pretending to have it all together. Jesus prayed that believers would be united so the world would believe and that kind of community still has the power to change lives today. If you’re looking for authentic faith, meaningful relationships, and a church that’s about people not perfection, this message is for you. Watch now and see why community isn’t optional, it’s essential.
What if staying with Jesus isn't about feeling more—but remembering better? Worship leader, songwriter, and Christian music producer Andrew Osenga shares his story of staying with Jesus through seasons of disillusionment, church hurt, and spiritual burnout. When faith felt thin and friends were leaving the church, Andrew discovered something unexpected: hymns, liturgy, and written prayers that carried his faith when feelings and words ran out.If you've ever:Loved Jesus but struggled with churchFelt burned out, distracted, or spiritually numbSat down to pray and didn't know what to sayWondered how to stay with Jesus for the long haulthis conversation is for you.Check out Andrew's book, How to Remember: Forgotten Pathways to an Authentic Faith!Resources mentioned:The Daily OfficeDrive Thru History: The Gospels | Acts to Revelation | Ends of the EarthThe Daily Liturgy PodcastAndrew's favorite Bible study tools:CSB Bible (small) | CSB Bible (unmarked) | YouVersion | BibleGatewayAbout Andrew Osenga:Website | Substack | The Pivot PodcastGot a question or something on your heart?

The church is in a moment of honest reckoning. Attendance is shrinking, institutions are thinning, and many who once belonged now stand on the outside looking in. In this conversation with author and priest Stephanie Spellers, we explore what the “nones” and “dones” are teaching us about faith, community, and the way of Jesus. Stephanie invites us to look directly at decline, name the shame we carry, and listen to the prophetic longings rising from a generation hungry for authenticity, belonging, and spiritual depth. We talk about Christian nationalism, idolized structures, meeting God outside our buildings, the table as a site of renewal, and the possibility of becoming a true Jesus movement again. If you care about where the church is headed, or whether new life can emerge from the dry bones, this episode offers clarity, courage, and hope.Rev. Stephanie Spellers is a renowned author, Episcopal priest and change agent. Her newest book, "Church Tomorrow?: What the Nones and Dones Teach Us About the Future of Faith," explores the stories of nonreligious young Americans and their prophetic charge to traditional, declining religion. She recently completed nearly a decade leading The Episcopal Church's work on evangelism, racial reconciliation and environmental justice. Today she serves as canon in residence at St. Bartholomew's Episcopal Church in New York City.Stephanie's Book:Church Tomorrow?Connect with Joshua: jjohnson@shiftingculturepodcast.comGo to www.shiftingculturepodcast.com to interact and donate.

This message reminds us that the evidence that we are disciples of Jesus is how we love on another. Love is the key ingredient that demonstrates that we are disciples of Jesus.
Regular listeners to MinistryWatch know that I'm a music fan. Even though music is not really a part of our work here, I can't help but let it seep into some of the podcast episodes. That's why I'm delighted to have as my guest on the program today Andrew Osenga. If you know anything about Christian music, you have probably heard Andrew. In addition to more than a dozen albums under his own name, he was the founder and lead singer for The Normals, an alternative Christian rock band that made a big mark on the genre in the early 2000s. He also served as vocalist and guitarist for Caedmon's Call. He's also written for, played on, or produced albums by lots of other Christian artists, including Andrew Peterson. But it's not his music that has him on the program today. Andrew Osenga has written a new book, and it's beautiful. How To Remember: Forgotten Pathways to an Authentic Faith is an honest look at himself, the church, and the world. I found it nourishing and I think you'll find this conversation I had with Andrew nourishing as well. Andrew Osenga lives and works – when he is not on the road – in Nashville Tennessee. We had this conversation via zoom. The producer for today's program is Jeff McIntosh. Until next time, may God bless you.
In this episode of Hidden Wisdom, Meghan Farner sits down with Steve Pynakker, creator of Mormon Book Reviews and one of the most unique bridge-builders in the religious landscape. Steve shares his lifelong fascination with the Restoration, his journey through evangelical Christianity, atheism, and back into a reconstructed faith, and the spiritual insights he's gained across traditions.Together, Meghan and Steve explore the feminine and masculine elements of religion, personal revelation, the role of mystical experience, faith crises, and why genuine connection with God often requires stepping outside institutional boundaries. They dive into the tension between apologetics and Christlike love, the dangers of zeal without compassion, and the shared work of healing religious division.This heartfelt and challenging conversation invites listeners to seek God beyond labels, recognize the divine image in every person, and cultivate a faith centered on love, humility, and spiritual authenticity.Timestamps & Episode Structure00:00–02:10 | Introduction02:10–07:30 | How Steve Entered the Mormon World07:30–13:00 | Faith Deconstruction and Atheism13:00–16:20 | Looking for Christ Instead of Faults16:20–22:10 | The Ego Death of Faith Crisis22:10–28:00 | Masculine and Feminine in Religion28:00–33:20 | Toxicity, Power, and the Danger of Misused Zeal33:20–38:00 | Responsibility as a Public Voice38:00–44:40 | Where Apologetics Goes Wrong44:40–52:30 | The Mirror: Calling Communities to Repentance52:30–56:40 | The Three Questions That Transform Dialogue56:40–59:00 | Closing Reflections: Love as the Center Thank you for listening to Hidden Wisdom!

On this episode of Let's Try This Again, I sit down with Jalyka —a true creative, singer, and trailblazer—who radiates authenticity both online and in person. We talk about stepping into a new era, owning our uniqueness, and boldly loving God even when it's countercultural. From being homeschooled and learning to grow “wild and free,” to facing criticism about modesty and body image as a Christian influencer, Jalyka shares how she navigates conviction versus shame, and how faith, contentment, and gratitude transformed her journey. We get into the struggles with procrastination, stepping into obedience, and why “growing in public” is a calling instead of a choice. Whether we're laughing about DIY nails or getting real on spiritual growth, this episode is filled with gems for anyone who sometimes feels out of place or uncertain.If you felt encouraged by this episode, subscribe and leave a review—then share it with someone who needs a reminder that they're never alone on this journey.

In this episode, Dave takes on one of the biggest challenges Christian men face today: compromise. What happens when we trade our integrity for comfort? We live in a world that rewards convenience, but God calls us to conviction. Every time we lower our standard, something sacred is lost - our witness, our credibility, our peace. Listen in as Dave unpacks how to identify compromise, count its cost, and take steps to rebuild a life of integrity and strength.
In this powerful and sobering episode, we reflect on the recent deaths of Charlie Kirk and Pastor Voddie Baucham — two bold men who shaped our generation and challenged Christian men to stand firm in truth. Their sudden passing reminds us of life's fragility and the urgent call to live faithfully, boldly, and ready. What does it mean to be “ready” in our time? Spiritually, morally, practically, and missionally? This episode challenges Christian men to confront their mortality, examine their legacy, and rise to the calling God has placed on their lives.

Tune in to find freedom through God's word, the Holy Spirit, and community, and stand boldly against sin for a life of true purpose in Christ.

We tend to be forgetful people. Perhaps that’s why, in the Bible, God often reminds us to remember. Don't miss a conversation about how to remember. Our guest is author and musical artist Andrew Osenga. In a noisy world where so many things compete for our attention, how do we hear the voice and experience the presence of God? Let’s remember together—on Chris Fabry Live.
